If you know this is something you need, then I think you should
find someone who is willing to give you what you need. This
feeling inside of you is not going to go away just because you
want it to. It will only grow stronger, especially if you try to ignore
it. Then your relationship will suffer because your needs are not
being met. If you know this person will not submit to your wants,
you truly need to find someone who will. For your sake and his.

I have to say I agree with notyoursub. They always say don't break a relationship because of bad sex- but this isn't bad sex, it's the basis of who you are. If two people simply aren't compatable with each other, be it sexually or emotionally the relationship simply won't work.

I think if you both try and continue you'll be supressing who you are. If you're a naturally dominant person and need to have that sort of lifestyle it would be wrong for you to supress it. I think it'll end up just depressing you both and making you resentful of each other in the long run because neither of you are getting what you want.

Also, if he's offering to try being submissive purely to get you back there's a strong chance he'll be faking when you do end up doing it, and that would just ruin it all- no-one likes to be trying to please someone and knowing they're not enjoying it and no-one likes to have to lie to a partner and pretend they're having fun when they're not.
